Music Video Monday
Today’s video for Music Video Monday comes from Chris. Chris is qualified to send in videos for two main reasons:
- He has big hair. (that rivals the lead singer’s hair in this video)
- He wears his bass nice and low and takes the rocker stance when playing.
- He can eat his weight in Buffalo wings.
Here’s a brief list of reasons that today’s video makes the cut on Music Video Monday:
- The woodblock shows a great deal of “road wear”. The block has been through the wringer, making clear that the block is a central piece to the band’s arrangements.
- The lead singer plays guitar AND cowbell. It’s a deadly combination…
- Powerdot drum heads. top and bottoms. Can we get more baffling? duct tape maybe?
- Excessive use of microphone windscreens.
- I’m not sure that much needs to be said about the bass player. Mustache. Afro. Percussionist.
What else did I leave out?
Enjoy…

not to mention that the guitar player, who is the lead singer is not only playing cowbell, but playing his slide guitar with a drum stick in his hand – c’mon James and Pat – impress me – it ain’t nothing if you don’t play guitar with a drum stick in your hand!!

Well, I guess they did it. Cowbell or not. Let’s get some Deep Purple on here!

Probably doesn’t rate posting. But has the Hammond B3, the bored guitar player, and a drug-wasted singer. Playing to a California crowd. Turn it up to 11.

Check out the “Lay Down Stay Down” video also. A more frenetic drumming I have never seen.
